It'll Be on the Exam

One of the claims of the wired world is that its natives -- who are considerably younger than me and should reconsider their presence on my lawn -- can "multitask" or pay attention to several things at once. Usually this ends up with them paying actual attention to the thing that interests them and pretending to pay attention to the thing that doesn't.

Such as phone vs. math class.

But on Reddit, someone posted the story of a student who used a phone in class apparently one too many times, whereupon it was confiscated by the teacher. Since this was a math class, the teacher then re-set the phone passcode and gave the student a way to find it.

A math problem.

Have fun, digital boy.
